I'm a huge Nexus fan, but am a little shocked by the price tag. I know it's a more premium Nexus phone, and has the latest and greatest specs in nearly every department, but I see myself getting a Moto X before getting a N6.

Wow, I'm glad to read this. For a while I was debating on if I should jump on the OnePlus One or wait it out for the Nexus 6. Can confidently say that I've made the right decision by not waiting for Google. After paying $299 for a Nexus 4 and $349 for a Nexus 5, there's no way I'd feel good about spending $649 on a Nexus. Google spoiled me with cheap goodies.

Not sure that this is a win for BlackBerry, but it sure is a blow against the Nexus brand.

Its not a win for bb. Its a win for other android devices perhaps like the note 4 but that is a stretch. Just like the iphone 6, the nexus 6 is not in the same sector as the passport really. The markets don't overlap by that much at all really. You want a win for BB, you need a full touch with specs like the passport and sell it for 549 off contract. That will turn some heads. The nexus 6 is more up against the note 4 and is looking to steal some of its customers is my guess at slightly cheaper price.
